    Moda Operandi Final Markdowns

    For retail shoppers sale season is about to come to a close. It’s essentially 2am, the music is off and the lights are about to be turned on. The party is just about over. In relation to Moda Operandi, you have less than 48 hours to check out anything that remains in your cart.


    Some of the items I’m still considering include this Loewe pink and white Gate bag that’s $1920 from  $3200, a Johanna Oritz hat is $93 from $310 and Givenchy silver sling-backs are $240 from $795. This long sleeve Balmain dress is a little bit of a splurge at $700 from $2300 but it will take you way into Fall.

    The sale section officially disappears at 11:59PM on Sunday. Choose wisely.

    Stylebop: 25% Off Everything

    Get this! Starting Thursday morning, shoppers can save 25% off everything on Stylebop. That includes the new Fall collections and sale. Just use the code LASTCALL25 to engage the discount.

    You can’t go wrong applying the code to merchandise that’s already on sale and there are some really great items on mega-discount. This Delpozo blouse is $300 from $1350. I still have a crush on this Raf era Calvin Klein skirt that’s now only $280 from $1855. These Balenciaga knife boots come to just $300 from $1970. They are a bit overplayed but for this price can look amazing with rolled up jeans or black peddle pushers.

    Some of the pre-season highlights include this Balmain tote that comes to $750 from about $1000, a TB Burberry belt is $337 from $460 and a Max Mara cashmere coat represents casual-decadence. Even brand new Moncler is included in the promotion. These Moncler Genius boots are $318 from $425 and a Moncler Noir Kei Ninomiya puffer is about $1475 from $1925. And get this, the site carries Philipp Plein and it’s all included in the promo too.

    The promotion launches at 7am CET. In NYC, that’s 1am Monday morning. We suggest you start shopping now and cart what you like right now. The sale will end mid-day on Sunday in NYC.

    TheOutnet: Dolce & Gabbana Sale

    UPDATE: Use the code AUGUST25 to save an extra 25% off. (Thank you @Luxe__Hunt)

    TheOutnet is hosting a large sale of Dolce & Gabbana merchandise. The discount on most items ranges from 50% to 60% off, which isn’t exactly earth-shattering but the selection is really phenomenal.


    Some of the highlights include this patchwork lace short skirt that’s $558 from $1600, a silk floral print skirt is $978 from $2645, playfully embellished sandals are $490 from $1260 and this space-floral theme classic midi dress is $864 from $1910. I love the print on this scarf and it’s actually a consideration at $200 from $400.

    I agree. The prices seem very high, but I noticed that some prints are from the recent Summer collection. The shells print is still in stores now. I carted my favorite items and will wait for a good promotion before I check out.

    In the meantime, the site also is plentifully stocked with Zimmerman, Pucci and M. Missoni pieces that are good end-of-Summer to Fall options. This Versace Collection silk blouse can actually be very useful and it’s only $250.

    Remember, fashion week is only a few weeks away. Time to get cracking!

    Saks Fifth Avenue: Save Now Promotion

    We have become all too familiar with department stores’ gift card shopping incentives. You spend as much as you can for the opportunity to receive a gift card for a later purchase. More often than not, you get your gift card and think that you’re going to save it to buy something special. By the time you commit to the purchase, the gift card is expired. It’s all very disappointing.

    Good thing, Saks Fifth Avenue is offering a promotion that doesn’t require to use a gift card at a future date. Depending on how much money you spend, you can save money off your purchase right now. For instance, if you spend $400 you can save $100, spend $800 and save $200 off expenditures of $1200 will earn you a savings of $300. The promotion is only available online. Use the code LOVESF at checkout to engage the savings.

    Last year, there were nearly no restrictions on this promotion but this season. This go-round we had to search ard for brands that are included. (You know it’s going to take some serious searching when even Michael Kors opts out.) The most attractive designer options include Balmain, Gianvitto Rossi, some Golden Goose, Manolo Blahnik, Aviator Nation, Rachel Comey, and some various others.

    Some items that might be in the realm of consideration include this Sara Battaglia rainbow paillette dress that is already reduced to $500 from $2000. These Gianvitto Rossi mules are already reduced to $350. While browsing, we found these Manolo Hangisi ‘Love’ heels reduced to $410 from $1025. After the code, they come to just $317. Move fast. There aren’t many sizes available.

    Don’t hesitate, the discount only runs through Wednesday. Next time Saks is offering a promotion it could be one of those tricky gift cards.

    Weekend Shopping: Impulses & Obsessions

    There isn’t another brand that can cause the same amount of buzz as the Manolo Blahnik final markdown. This season’s exceptional assortment and prices led the way to sample sale-style lines. Shoppers were a bit taken back when prices were adjusted upwards after the first day. We have to believe that local wholesale customers were, understandably, unhappy.

    This weekend marks the final days of the Net-A-Porter sale season. The sale is officially over on August 13. It’s a good idea to take a final scroll through the sale section. You can still save an extra 20% off on items designated ‘Sale Must-Have‘.   I’ve also been on the hunt for a classic linen button-down shirt and am excited to get this LF Markey that was just $98. (I might go for the grey too if I’m impressed enough with the white.)

    Fivestory is wrapping up its final clearance. Using the code FINALSALE saves you an extra 20% off. The store’s semi-annual ‘Off-Site’ sale, which is taking place onsite–at the boutique– will begin Tuesday and run through Friday. Discounts will tilt towards 85% off.

    Below is a compilation of a few of my favorite items that I’ve purchased, carted or agonized over. I will be sure to update this post as I scroll uncover more impulse purchases.

    Global Fashions Valentino Sample Sale

    It’s been a while since we’ve been in the trenches of a great sample sale. (We desperately needed recovery time from Hermes.) Next week, Global Fashions is poised to start a new wave of buzz with a Valentino Sample sale.

    The sale begins on Tuesday morning and runs for three days. Inside you will find a large amount of Valentino clothing for men and women reduced 80% off. Shoes, bags, and accessories are discounted by 70%.
